Novelist, Expert Says Potential Nuclear EMP Attack Isn't Just Fiction, US Should Prepare

Excessive heat in parts of the country is straining the nation's aging electrical power grid. Temporary brownouts may occur in different places. But what would happen if the United States lost electricity permanently? Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb (E.M.P.) experts warn America's enemies are already targeting the U.S. for a devastating attack, and at least one expert believes such an attack is inevitable. An E.M.P. is a nuclear weapon designed to explode high in the atmosphere, resulting in a knockout of a country's electrical power grid. Historian William Forstchen is a New York Times bestselling author and an expert on E.M.P.'s. His new novel is, Five Years After, a political thriller about the aftermath of such an attack. "Hits the earth's surface, feeds into our electrical wiring, and starts shorting out the entire power grid. If they launch three missiles (in the) eastern and central western United States, it would shut our grid down permanently," Forstch

Inflation Rate Drops to 3 Percent in June, Yet Recession Still Possible

There's welcome news on the economic front in the form of some financial relief. Inflation across America is at its lowest annual rate in more than two years, as of June, but there could be a ways to go. Although prices are rising at a slower rate, they are continuing to rise. The latest report from the Bureau of Statistics shows inflation rate is slowing, with prices rising at a 3 percent rate, the slowest pace in 2 years. That's thanks, in part, to lower gas prices, airline fares, grocery costs, and even cheaper used cars. The Consumer Price Index shows price increases easing a year after inflation rates spiked to their highest level in 4 decades. The inflation rate is down from a 4 percent annual rate in May. Experts say that means wages are now finally rising faster than prices. Although prices are rising more slowly, shoppers can still expect some sticker shock, compared to pre-pandemic levels. from CBNNews.com https://ift.tt/Di5zHmF via
